Filling time

I spent over two hours this morning sorting through and organizing paperwork. You know all that random stuff that accumulates and you just put it to the side thinking that you’ll deal with it later? “Later” was today for me. I now have a three-inch stack of papers to shred. After that, I moved on to backing up computer files. The CD drive and I had a little argument, but I think I won.  At least I hope I won, seeing as how we’re going to be without this computer for about 5 months.

For lunch I made a ginormous batch of tuna salad. Had to use up the last of the tuna, you know. And I found a can of “Mexican” vegetables in the back of the cupboard to go with my sandwich as a side. That can must have been back there for over a year and while it may have been a life-saver as part of our emergency kit (had the need to use it ever actually happened), it was not that great as part of today’s lunch. I’m not sure why the adjective “Mexican” was used – “strangely salty and chewy” would have been a better description.

This afternoon’s projects include organizing my fabric stash and sorting through several folders that contain things that I thought were worth saving at some point, but probably don’t want to save today. Exhillarating, I know. Just 12 more days of these mundane pre-moving tasks and then the real excitement begins.
